At Joseph SpeIdrl " Co. : ahoUt '"V h'r-
rels Of lime were stored m the cellar, ana
when the water commenced backing up
through the sewers and running IN over
the grltlugS,, all the employees M the eS-
adjustment took OF all surplus clothes,
aud for time there was the llyeileSt sort
OF hustling in that cellar, with the result
that all but few OF the barrels were
rescued unchanged, while several got wet
aud exploded. The loss did not amount
To much. The water rose to about II
inches IN the front at the cellar and about
